More Like Janice


I work in a building where ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’ tapes on the ground floor. In the mornings our lobby is crowded with over a hundred tourists with tickets to be in the audience. Each of these guests knows that they will get the chance to see someone famous so they are looking at every employee in my building as potentially being a celebrity.
This morning I got “Oh my gosh, mom… is that Renee Zellweger???”. This is nothing new for me. I think that Renee is pretty, has fine blonde hair and squinty eyes like me, but I don’t see it AT ALL. I’ve been mistaken for Renee since the day I moved to New York. Through her awkwardly skinny phase, to her pixie haircut. At least once a season someone swears they just saw Renee Zellweger when they see me (I even signed her autograph once when waiting in front of the Guggenheim).
I actually can’t think of any celebrity that I look similar to, accept of course Janice from The Muppet Show.
